Engine Lubrication
The oil pump is of a trochoid type, and mounted under the crankshaft. Oil is drawn up through the oil pump
strainer and passed through the pump to the oil filter.
The filtered oil flows into 2 paths in cylinder block.
In one path, oil reaches the crankshaft journal bearings. Oil from the crankshaft journal bearings is supplied to
the connecting rod bearings by means of intersecting passages drilled in the crankshaft, and then injected from
the big end of connecting rod to lubricate piston, rings, and cylinder wall.
In other path oil goes up to the cylinder head and lubricates valves and camshafts, etc., after passing through
the internal oilway of camshafts.
An oil relief valve is provided on the oil pump. This valve starts relieving oil pressure when the pressure exceeds
about 400 kPa (4.0 kg/cm
2, 56.9 psi).

INSPECTION
Check fuel pump assembly for damage.
Check fuel suction filter (1) for evidence of dirt and contamination.
If present, replace or clean and check for presence of dirt in fuel
tank.
For inspection of fuel pump itself, refer to “Table B – 3 Fuel Pres-
sure Check” in Section 6.
For inspection of fuel level gauge, refer to “Fuel Meter / Fuel
Gauge Unit” in Section 8.

Air Intake System
The main components of the air intake system are air cleaner (1), air cleaner outlet hose (2), throttle body (3),
idle air control valve (4) and intake manifold (5).
The air (by the amount corresponding to the throttle valve (6) opening and engine speed) is filtered by the air
cleaner (1), passes through the throttle body (3), is distributed by the intake manifold (5) and finally drawn into
each combustion chamber.
When the idle air control valve (4) is opened according to the signal from ECM, the air (7) bypasses the throttle
valve (6) through bypass passage and is finally drawn into the intake manifold (5).
